Under Our Skin 2: Emergence Page #4
with adventurer Lars monsen,
who apparently is one of
the most famous people
in Norway today.
Jordan Fisher Smith, welcome.
You are kind of the equivalent
to Lars monsen in the states, right?
Well, we both had been
working in the outdoors,
in nature all of our lives.
And you have another thing in common,
'cause you also have been
infected by the lyme disease?
Unfortunately.
Now I see the same thing
happening in Norway,
so I'm here to help.
When I got ill, I understood
this is just like a long expedition.
You have to have the same mindset.
- So true.
- Make the same choices.
You know, look ahead
and just choose what thoughts to think.
I think the one thing that being ill,
and, not just with a tick bite,
having a dream and keeping
it through the illness,
that's an important thing.
Don't give up your dream.
I always expected to get better,
meaning that I couldn't imagine
living the way I was living.
The experience of living in a lyme body
is the worst misery I've ever suffered.
It turns your body
into a torture chamber.
I think that I had one attribute
that I was trained
as a ranger for 21 years
to recognize a deadly situation
and then being absolutely relentless
in fighting my way out of it.
Everybody's asking me,
why are you better?
What worked for you?
What drug exactly did you take?
The answer I almost always give people
is, pfft, I took all of them.
I was able to stop taking
long-term antibiotics
I see lyme people having
is that they're set in
that is doing its best
to deny them treatment.
You're gonna have to fight for yourself
feeling like doing anything,
and this was certainly
my greatest challenge,
was continuing to fight for myself.
When I shared my story
in "under our skin,"
I sort of became this poster child
for lyme disease, and that frightened me.
Because in some ways,
it kept me in my story,
and people felt like they wanted to share
And sometimes it would overburden me
So I was resistant to
talking about lyme disease
for about five years
because I didn't want
to talk about this bug
and this hideous illness.
I wanted to talk about
what it means to heal
and what that journey looks like.
I think that's where I get healed,
when I can help people
that have gone through
the same thing that I have.
So, with "lyme less, live more,"
people into our world
and really meet some of the people
that have been so
inspirational in our journey.
We're so lucky and happy
